We are very excited to welcome back Egyptian big room duo 'Aly and Fila' to the Ministry turntables. Back in March, their 'sun kissed' trance caused absolute mayhem in the Box!

On a personal level, it’s been a strangely disappointing year, so, this year more than ever, it’s been music and DJing keeping me going and giving life its colour. Trance, in particular, has been truly stunning this year, maybe better than it’s been since the “golden era” of 98-01.
